I See Nothing, Nothing

The Galveston County Daily News reports

House Majority Leader Tom DeLay says he found no victims of sweatshops, sex slavery or forced abortions on the Pacific island of Saipan in the mid-1990s. But Carmencita Abad says that’s because DeLay did not want to see them.

DeLay was in Saipan on a trip paid for by Jack Abramoff who "was paid millions by the garment industry and the indebted Saipan government to keep the federal government from forcing the territory to adopt the federal minimum wage or U.S. immigration laws." So, on a trip sponsored indirectly by the garment industry, DeLay claims to have found no evidence the garment industry was doing anything wrong. As John Lennon sang,

Living is easy with eyes closed,
Misunderstanding all you see.

If you close your eyes, you would probably not see the problems either.
